Zero FXE Review! | 400cc Performance on a CBT!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 жов 2024
- After two weeks with the Zero FXE I have on lone from English Electric Motor Co. I can now give you my thoughts on the FXE, keeping in mind this is an updated Zero FXS 11KW in looks alone.
I have extensively testest the FXS in videos already so be sure to check out all the videos.
Sadly as you will see this loan was cut short due to an issue with the bike.
Big thanks to English Electric Motor Co. AKA EEMC for the loan of the machine for a couple of weeks to get to know and bring you videos and a review!

Don't know why, but i'm really glad that kettle leads still get called kettle leads, despite the fact that i haven't seen an actual kettle with one for decades
As a lover of “all things SuperMoto”🤪, and because I use my SuperMoto for short errands and/ or just a quick fun ride, this is the most attractive electric motorcycle to me so far. Yes at the present it’s expensive, but increased production volume can help to bring costs down in the future. 47 years of riding over 13 different brands of motorcycles, and I can honestly say it’s rare for a new bike to be completely problem free, be they Japanese or European in manufacture 😉.
"Power instantly on tap". "Rapid acceleration". "Performance of a 400cc (4 stroke)". "Lightweight". "Handles nicely". "A fun learner bike".
Before 1982, we had all this from 250cc 2 strokes!!
Yes and now we have global warming haha
This is the one I was waiting for! Lets go!
What did you end up with
@@majordelays4909 Hyosung Aquila GV125S, £3.5k, Korean and powerful for a 125, next bike will be an electric scooter, something like the NIU high power ones or potentially the BMW
Congratz on 100k subs spicy! 👍
Great video. Love to see an honest review of electric bikes, not the usual biased ones
how do you feel about the lack of traction control? is that a big minus?
Hi Spicy, any bike or car can have teething problems. It's how the dealer responds to them is the main thing. I bought a brand new BMW M5 in April 2019 and 3 days later I went to it and it wouldn't start due to an immobiliser fault, then a week later an engine light came on due to a faulty sensor then a month after an abs sensor and the radio stopped working and had to have a new unit 😂😂😂.
It's been fine since then and Williams were fantastic, they collected it each time and left me a car each time. I'm sure they did it on purpose so my wife got to drive an X6 m sport because the week later she had one in her side of the garage 😂😂😂👍👍
From my experience, deer 🦌 are more likely to jump out on my gas bike. My 2020 Zero FXS doesn't startle them one bit, but come by on my M109r (or any of my previous gas bikes) and they get startled by the sound and they will jump out.
Now, the drunk girls on the weekend downtown in a college town... They'll jump out in front of you.
You did this independently 👍
Guess who's video appeared as third on my feed? Like first time in like 10 years heyy spicy!
Excellent review. I’m excited to get mine! Hope I don’t get those issues. Thanks 🙏
Let us know how they fix it
Big supporter of electric vehicles especially for enduro, hoping to one day for them to be more affordable.
It's a shame that it's had some issues but for anyone thinking that a fault with a new bike is isolated to electric vehicles, I'm a tech at a premium brand motorcycle retailer, and we once had a new bike come in with a loud rattle. Literally not even had a mile put on it. Turns out that the gudgeon pin circlip had failed. The bike ended up having a new engine.
Sometimes charging issues on electric vehicles are a result of a non existent logged fault the electronics control unit that requires a system reset.
Great vid 👍
The only thing that is stopping me getting one is the price.
I actually have a full bike licence but don't need to go 160mph or travel 100s of miles in a day.
My ebikes are good but not really fast enough for the road and not even legalifi go over 15.5mph.
80mph is ok on a bike tbh, I had a xv535 that did 110mph just about but was so uncomfortable and inefficient at anything over 75mph that after the obvious initial testing and fun speed runs I rarely went much faster than 80mph .
I think efficiency is going to play a much bigger role in electric bikes as we progress the difference in range at highway speeds compared to town is massive,
Aerodynamics is going to have to be addressed to fix this which means looking at airflow over the rider aswel as the bike, but enclosing the rider would definitely take away from the riding experience.
You could buy the UK-built and CBT-legal Macrais ZX8 with a160 ah battery for around £8K -- similar performance but greater range. With a lower-spec battery it's about half the price of the Zero...
@@stephenmundane that's not bad.
Thanks.
Given a 9.2 battery I would buy one.😊
Hello Spicy! I have recently just purchased the GoPro HERO 8. Would it be possible for you to maybe show me how you have your setup with microphone, etc or make a video regarding your recording setup.
I have attached a chin-mount to my helmet, and I have it positioned perfectly, my next aim is audio.
Another great video by the way, keep it up!
I have videos on this. Search spicy110 hero 9 setup and how I make my microphone.
@@spicy110 perfect! Let me have a gander for that now :)
Hi, great video...is the range on this about 60 miles?! You can pick these up now for about £7.7k second hand worth it or wait for new tech...i have test drove one and it was immense just the range scares me, i would need 60 miles
ua-cam.com/video/kTwMnoTeR7o/v-deo.html
I checked the other video too, how did you get on did you ever get 60 miles?
7.7k ? What about the warranty, no repairs just replace price hmmm
Love these bikes.Hope the enduro version has a clutch for those whisky moments and to build torques like the electric trials bikes.
No, I do not know of a single electric with a clutch.
@@spicy110 Check out”inch perfect trials”There electric trials bikes all have clutches.Think you guys would have a blast.
@spicy110 any idea if you’ll be doing a review on lexmoto’s new naked 125 bike. Think it’s called the LS-Z
I have nothing from lexmoto booked in, I have not heard from them in a long while.
I picked up mine on June 4. Two weeks later, it had a CAN error and the bike is dead. Still waiting for the dealer to take it in for a repair. Can you explain in details on how you performed the BMS reset? Do you know the trick on how to reboot the entire electronics? Thank you.
Yes I have a video on that on my patreon now the video will be live in the next couple of days on youtube.
Listening to this video, it’s almost like you’ve spent a great deal of money on expensive, professional microphones. Lack of drive train sound is uncanny, but fantastic at the same time. Wondering what the electric equivalent of shooting flames out of the pipe is? Blue sparks - see the electricity ⚡️ and quake ! 😁😁😁.
Haha yer my mic is like £15 and hacked. However this is a new mic that is indeed cutting background out too much. They changed the design of my old fav. Oh and the bike has belt drive.
I've watched loads of Spicys videos and at this point.. I'm fairly sure he lives in a Tesco Express.
Haha naa I just shop once a day so I fit filming videos in to when I need to get food.
These shouldn't be compared to 125s or electrics with similar performance in price, the fact they can be ridden on a CBT is just a technicality. And comparing the price of electric versus gas is a bit like comparing the price of a digital camera to a film one. For similar basic performance a digital camera is going to be way more expensive but it's understandable why and no one that isn't a luddite boomer is going to argue that it's stupid for digital cameras to be so much more expensive, and people also accept that digital has its advantages.
So Yammie just released a "lets talk about Zero" video - interested in your thoughts on the ( alleged? ) business model Spicy. 🤔
I assume he is talking about the stuff built into the bikes you have to pay to unlock. I talked about that over a month ago here ua-cam.com/video/34y6cralndw/v-deo.html around the 7min mark. I do not think this model has any of that as and the quick charger is a separate device. In short, the practice should be illegal and when you are already on an uphill battle getting people to like electric bikes, it's like throwing a boulder in front of yourself.
@@spicy110 Nice 👌 must have been a vid I missed, Thanks!
Great video, loved it; I really do want an FXE but I just cannot afford it, if it was £9k I could stretch it but £13k+??? I just cant
You’d pay £9k for that?!
Give it 18 months and you’ll be needing a loan to charge it !
@@MatthewChapmanYT how narrow minded, I think £9k is perfectly acceptable for it and as far as charging goes, it depends on if you’re old fashioned or if you realise the future and use eco energy
Err this bike costs about £1 to charge for 60-80 miles range. How far are you going to get on half a liter of petrol?
@@spicy110 exactly!
In the states right now, this bike can be had for high 7’s, mid 8’s, depending upon which state you’re in. High 9’s where I live, just saying there are deals for some that want one. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
What is a cbt or are u saying cvt?
CBT like in the title of the video.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
so next bike test if an 15 KW FXS?
No, FX
Chain swap the belt drive and you can wheelie at 60 mph
Had you thought the company deactivated the charging system 'Remotely' and not told you?
why would they do that...? I mean honestly.. it would make no sense.
yes you get 125cc top end power all the time, instantly but your paying used superbike money. I genuinely want one but range and price are horrible.
That is why I am not reviewing it for value but more a rich persons toy.
@@spicy110 can't wait for the enduro green lane video very jealous.
Also other brands won’t make u pay per mile for the item sent on warranty… this is a horrible bit about zero
Don’t think anyone who can only afford a £100 cbt test will be looking to pay £13000 for bike;
Then again some donuts get some right pieces of junk on pay monthly these days so time will tell 🤣
Who said they could only afford a cbt? That is just what is needed to ride it has literally nothing to do with it. If they have a full licence the next step up in electric is £20k-30k+ so a huge gap again.
I think it's more the fact that you can buy the bike to learn on but it's powerful enough that you don't need to trade up once you have your full license if you don't want to.
£ 13.000, i think il get two lol
hahaha that reminds me of this ua-cam.com/video/rxDnv9QfWbs/v-deo.html
Bit niche, but if you are competent and pass A1 on your own 125 without needing lessons (several older friends have, rather than multiple cbt) and can afford this, you can have a better, faster bike without all the training costs ets. That bit of extra instant top speed, is a real plus on occasion. L plates in your 40s and 50s a bit embarrassing and not everyone wants to ride big heavy bikes
What sort of nimby would do an A1 and get this?…..
Do a proper test; get proper power.
@@MatthewChapmanYT It's as quick as any A2 bike. If that's all someone ever needs and they can cope with the range (or a petrol 125 would be fine for longer journeys) then for around the same price as a CBT they can do the A1 test and not have to display L plates, go on motorways, and carry a pillion.
@@HomoKieran exactly. Like I said, its a bit niche, but people I know don't want or need bigger heavier bikes. A1 works if you can't be bothered to go through all the training for bikes you never want to ride. Older people do tend to have more disposable income though and this may suit those fancying a try on electric, that have available funds
Haha that’s so fucked omg
Nah petrol is way better.
